MAN ARRESTED AFTER HIDING UNDER DESSERT TABLE UNTIL SEAFOOD NIGHT STARTED

MAN ARRESTED AFTER HIDING UNDER DESSERT TABLE UNTIL SEAFOOD NIGHT STARTED MARLOW BEND, SC — Dwight Kesselring, 42, was arrested Friday after buffet staff discovered him hiding beneath the dessert table for nearly three hours, waiting for the restaurant to roll out its Friday seafood night. Employees became suspicious when the pudding station kept "breathing" and a single hand occasionally emerged to reposition the brownie tray for a better view of the kitchen doors. Investigators say the stakeout was carefully planned: He entered at 2 p.m., paid for lunch, and never technically left the building He brought a folded lawn chair, a bib, and a laminated schedule of when crab legs drop Staff found a periscope fashioned from a fork and a chrome napkin holder He'd stockpiled 14 dinner rolls "as bait" to lure servers away from the tongs A thermos of melted butter was discovered pre-warmed and ready beside him When crab legs hit the tray at 5 p.m., he emerged fully dressed for the occasion Diners say a grown man rising slowly from beneath a dessert table "changed the entire mood of the room" and made at least two children quietly cry into their soft-serve. "Most people wait in line. This gentleman waited in ambush," said Officer Neil Braddock, a 15-year veteran of the force. "He treated a seafood buffet like a nature documentary, and he was the predator." The dessert table, visibly shaken, was unavailable for comment. He waited in the dark. He surfaced for the crab.
